What do you mean exactly, I have DX9 installed but cannot get to any of the menus to alter any of the settings in game. If theres a switch to launch the game without DX9 effects or something id gladly try it. Ive already tried launching it with the -mode2 switch to no avail

Unfortunately Ive been SINless since the patch

Thanks for you reply Mister_Bung, ill try deleting my profile completly and trying again and see if that works

There seem to be two possible solutions to this problem. Unfortunately, both involve deleting files.

The first solution is to back up your save games, then delete your C:Program FilesSteamSteamApps[username]sin episodes emergence folder, copying your save games back, then launching the game.

If that still doesn't work, repeat the above steps, but also delete your ClientRegistry.blob file from your C:Program FilesSteam folder.

I just dloaded Sin via Steam and after getting killed,loading seems to freeze and game crash to desktop with above mentioned error.So that means deleting a whole SIn folder and dloaded entire game again??

OK

No, you won't have to redownload the game after following Michaels instructions, the .gcf file (which contains all game files) will still be on your harddrive, but the folder containing core files extracted from the .gcf will be recreated.

Thanks for all the updates. Ive actually managed to resolve the problem by following the advice above. Before that i did run the dx websetup again so im not sure if that may have helped as well but needless to say the game is now functioning just fine. Thanks for the great support guys
